Most wholeheartedly David.
It will open your eyes to what real , traditional attitudes in Bali actually are.
It is a low priced book, and the production is less than wonderful, but the content is as good as you will get in this field. Jonathan Copeland is a British lawyer, who has had a long association with Bali, and in my understanding now lives there. I have met with both Ni Wayan Murni, and Jonathan Copeland and both these people are genuine, feet-on-the-ground people.
What you will read in "Secrets" is not the rose coloured drivel of some newly converted Bali enthusiast, it is the real thing.
"Secrets of Bali --- Fresh Light on the Morning of the World", Jonathan Copeland, Ni Wayan Murni, Orchid Press, PO Box 1046, Silom Post Office, Bangkok 10504, Thailand, ISBN: 978-974-524-118-3
It is not difficult to find, throw the ISBN into BOOKFINDER and you will get a lot of choices.
